Women have eight years more life expectancy than men. They are less susceptible than men to some illnesses and stand up better to extreme conditions like high or low temperatures. They also have higher resistance to starvation. Women are strong. Why do we not say it?

Martial’s method is no combat sport, it is about using your natural instinct to save your life when in danger, when running away and verbal dissuasion are impossible. Mother Nature gave women tremendous power through their natural fighting instinct to protect themselves. Nevertheless, verbal threats, psychological violence, beatings, rape, assassinations, and gender-based violence continue to target women. Women are strong and capable of defending themselves; this is what Martial teaches in his classes, workshops and books.

The non-acceptance of violence, though unfortunately sometimes necessary, is one of the main differences between the degenerated human mammals that we have become (concerning fighting) and all the other mammals or reptiles that never think but just save their lives.

Being female, being a woman means that you are a mammal created by Mother Nature. And if Mother Nature created you it means that Mother Nature needs you. And if Mother Nature needs you it means that Mother Nature armed you to face danger.

Mother Nature knows best. This is obvious when we see animals fighting instinctively for their survival. We are mammals as well, so let us stop referring to sports when speaking about self- defence. The reptilian mindset with its simple and effective blows is the best way of retaliating against your assailant(s) if you cannot run away.
